“Kevin is wonderful. He spent time with my cat so she wasn't lonely. He answered messages immediately and I feel very relieved that I could trust Kevin to take care of my fur baby. Kevin allowed me to spend time with my family out of state without worrying. I will definitely hire Kevin next time.”


“Beth is wonderful! She took great care of our three cats and sent daily updates and pictures! She’s kind and definitely an animal person!!”


“She is absolutely amazing, my boy loves her, loves on my boy like her own!”


“Vanessa did a splendid job taking care of our cat Jasper. She provided updates to us promptly and took care of the all the smaller details. We definitely would have her help us again and highly recommend.”


“Gillian did a fantastic job caring for our 2 cats for a week! She sent us detailed updates and tons of pics each day. Our cats loved her! And the next morning after we got home, they kept looking at the from door (I think they were watching for her!)”


“Thank you for the last minute booking!”



“Would don't hesitate to leave our furry boy knowing that Mary is there to check in on him. She's absolutely fantastic. She gives our cat all the love and attention he desires, keeps his litter box area clean, and tops up with our finicky amounts of food & water. Communication is top notch, as are the little anecdotes to tide us over while we're away! Thank you, Mary!”


“My sweet kitty(17) was well taken care of. If I need a good pet sitter in the future, I will ask Dee Dee. She did everything that I had asked for to care for my kitty and more. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter for their fur babies.”


“Candice took amazing care of my cat, Bean. He is anxious around people, and she knew exactly how to read his cues and respond to him, giving him the space he needed while engaging him at his comfort level. She is experienced and very kind. She even brought some Churu for him as an extra treat and went above and beyond in ensuring that everything was scrubbed clean after he pooped in the bathtub a couple of times. By the last visit, he was definitely beginning to warm up to her. I felt so at ease knowing he was in her care.”



“Rosie took great care of our kitties while we were away for the holidays. She shared notes to keep us updated and to check-in with any questions or news. Her help was greatly appreciated!”


“Rebecca was absolutely amazing. I had a few changes with my visit, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible. She consistently communicated with me and made sure to keep me updated about my kitties, especially since I expressed my anxiety of leaving them for an extended period of time. She even sent great pictures of my kitties and I was impressed with seeing my normally standoff-ish boys come straight up to her. She is amazing and I cannot say enough good things about her.”


“Very happy with this Rover! Would definitely recommend. Dayan took care of our cats while we went on a 10 day vacation, keeping us informed through messages and photos.”


About: Hi! Our family loves dogs and we want to open our home to yours. Growing up, I had an Eskimopoo as a brother, and he was the most important being in my life. In 2009, after moving to Maryland from New Jersey, I adopted my current dog, Simi, from a shelter. She was abused, so it took some work and time to warm her up. Simi has gone from shy and timid to an important part of our family of 3 and the most loving and gentle dog you will ever meet. My 4 year old son was born into this world with Simi by his side and only knows a world with dogs in it. He loves dogs so much, that we adopted Ginger last year, a senior dog abandoned by her owner. Unfortunately, we lost Ginger to cancer a few months later Our loving family will make sure your beloved dog receives snuggles and belly rubs all day and night and be treated as part of the family. I know how hard is it to leave your dog to go on a business trip or vacation. So we will do everything we can to ensure your dog is safe and loved while you enjoy some time away. As a recently terminated federal employee, I am ready to spend the day with your loving pup on walks, playtime or just have a fun time in our fully fenced 1 acre yard! Your pet will make sure I get the excercise I need! I very much care for animals and their well-being, I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable knowing s/he will be sad missing mommy or daddy. Having a senior dog, Simi, my children are trained to be gentle and create a respectful environment for any pet guests we may have. If I am visiting your home, I will ensure to respect your pet's boundaries and ease my way into their safety zone. Eventually I hope to become a part of their routine.

I am also comfortable administering medications if needed. Having owned and raised multiple dogs since they were puppies, I'm adept at positive reinforcement training.

Aditi & Maunank "Mick" S.
“The most sympathetic, caring and loving human that I have ever met!! Just knowing when I could take my little guy over to her, that he is in good hands. That's a huge sense of relief. I used to pay extra just to get couple pictures text messaged to me throughout the day and sometimes throughout the week when I was away on travel. Couple times I even forgot the food for my little guy and she was nice enough to supply some of their vegetarian dog food that use for their doggy, at no cost.”
